The TotalStorage DS300 and DS400 has on front and rear site LEDs to help
identifying problems. It is important to know the current status of those LEDs.

TotalStorage DS300. 3.4.3, "DS400 controls and LEDs" on page 45 describes
the LEDs for a TotalStorage DS400.
A description of error LEDs and actions to solve problems are described in the
hardware maintenance manual of the TotalStorage DS300 or DS400. The
documents can be downloaded from:
